Day 1 (Nov 28, 2015) -
Chloe named her new Elf on a Shelf Bob. Now that Bob has magic, he immediately got into some mischief. This was her favorite little prank that he pulled, I think. She was still talking about that time that "Bob drew a mustache and soul patch on my baby picture! What are we gonna do about that silly Bob?"
Day 2
It's Day #2 and Bob has magically sprouted some facial hair. It also appears that he's made a new friend......I think.
Day 3
Tuesday Day #3. Today Bob took to some Zip Lining action. Bob almost wasn't going to be here today as Chloe's room was a mess. She finally got it cleaned up by bedtime and will reap the fruits of her labor come morning time when she catches Bob in mid zip!
Day 4
Today Bob discovered Wiggles the dog standing in his new dog pen, made of mega blocks. Bob may have some deep-rooted cowboy issues cuz he apparently jumped on to Wiggles, broke out of the pen, and rode him around the living room. "Silly Bob!" says Chloe.
Day 5
Today Bob brought a candy cane back from the North Pole and did a little ice fishing right in our living room! Well, there was no ice, but there was snow...err a snowman...err a snowman stocking. Oh and the fish were extra cheesy! I wonder what he used for bait?
Day 6
Today Bob got a little Loopy (Fruit Loopy) by stringing some Loops on a pipe cleaner. Oh look! He made a rainbow! In the words of a short person I love, "That cwazy Bob! He's a weal jokesta!"
Day 7
Today Bob showed his softer side by finishing his Fruit Loop bracelet for Chloe. He then showed off his mountain man skills by scaling our Christmas tree, finding a perch, and extending out his gift to his little friend. What a Bob! lol
Day 8
Today Bob revealed to us exactly what happened to the goldfish crackers and extra Fruit Loops from days 5 & 6. Poor little fella.
Today Bob displayed his deviously artistic side by making some new friends (literally). I don't know if he went bananas or was just trying to "a-peel" to his creative side. Whatever the reason, I just hope his new friends stay all bunched up and in one place!
Day 10
Today Bob climbed into Santa's head, slipped off his...well FEET, and settled in to a nice sweet "mallow" bath. Some elves can take hundreds of years to master the art of relaxation--not Bob! He seems to have mastered it at the tender age of 133! Hopefully we don't find any Hershey's kisses or hot "cocoa" in the jar after his bath!
Day 11
Today Bob settled into character. Not his typical silly jokesta kind, but the red-nosed kind! Well I'm sure Chloe will still think he's a cwazy yittle elf! What a way to get into the Christmas spirit than by reading a book who's moral message is, "It's "OK" to bully and exclude someone if they have nothing to offer." Wait! What? Yeah, that's pretty much how the story goes. lol #itissooooowrong!
Day 12
Today Bob decided to take a little dip; like 16.9 fluid ounces worth. I don't think he thought this all the way through....just saying.
Today Bob got a little malicious with a roll of TP. Apparently, he failed to comply with any of the local OSHA standards and subsequently he found himself in a somewhat awkward predicament. #AllWrappedUpWithNoPlaceToGo
Day 14
Today Bob played one of his camouflage tricks. If it weren't for the excessive CRACKLING, we might never have found him there looking all incognito and such!#StuckBetweenASnapAndAPop
Day 15
Today Bob must have gotten lonely and tried to make himself a sweet little friend--a Mallow Fellow, if you will. There must not have been some magic in that old mini-muffin liner he found, for when he placed it on his head, he didn't do a darn thing! Poor Bob! Such a Silwy elf. #WasteOfaMiniMuffinLiner
Been meaning to share this. When Bob the elf made a snowman out of marshmallows, she couldn't help herself and had to make a friend for it. I heard her in the kitchen messing around with plastic marshmallow bags. I walked in to see her creation. She only needed help on the nose and arms. She did EVERYTHING else her self! lol
Day16
Day 16, (for Monday morning - 11 days until Christmas!): Today Bob tried and failed to get a fishing license, so he did the next best thing. Say Bob! What’s that in your right hand? I doubt those snowmen are packing “heat” but still! Silwy jokesta! #YouGottaKnowWhen2Holdem
Day 17
Today Bob went shopping...well actually he bought something...well ACTUALLY he paid for something....the price for cheating at “Go Fish” last night! Snowmen are usually cool dudes, but try something fishy and they tend to get a little hot under the collar. You may even find yourself swimming with the fishes! These snowmen are certainly cold as ice as they try to bring back the “CRACKLE” in Snap, Crackle, and Pop! Luck would have it that Bob's back has been bothering him ever since he stuffed himself inside that water bottle a few days back. This little torture is just what the doctor ordered. Besides what elf doesn’t want to be a few inches taller? #SnowmenDontPlay
Day 18
Today Bob realized that we didn't have a topper on our tree and must have decided to correct the atrocity. He artistically designed a “one-of-a-kind” star from the most rare and primitive of 21st Century materials (pen & paper) and bravely scaled the tree that previously had left him dangling in a cold and lifeless toilet-papered cocoon! He seems proud of his accomplishment as the gleam in his eye can be seen as far as the tree skirt. WTG BOB! #TreeAintGotNoGameAgainstBob
Day 19
Today Bob received a little gift from Chloe. It was a “Santa is my BFF” shirt. Chloe had us place it near him in the tree so he would see it. Bob must have quickly donned the new top as soon as we were asleep and declared his gratitude by spelling out a “Thank you” letter on Chloe’s easel. You’re welcome Bob. Oh, and by the way, looking good little man! Looks like it might be some time before we need tickets to any gun show, but still, looking good! #LittleElfRockinATinyShirt
Day 20
Today Bob must have overheard some of my comments regarding his lack of guns (arms, specifically biceps). So like any .98 ounce weakling would do, he immediately set out to do bench presses with too much weight. I’d give Bob props if bench press had anything to do with bicep development, but sadly it does not. It’s SUPPOSED to work your chest and triceps. In Bob’s case, it looks to have worked his core (lower core) muscles. Maybe (well DEFINITELY) he should have started with the 20 lb. dumbbells! On a positive note: It appears that Bob lost a couple pounds! WTG Bob!#WhenABenchBecomesASquat #NoStrainNoGain#Time2OrderAndShipYourPants
Day 21
Today Bob seems to be on an adrenaline kick after his “pumping iron” fiasco yesterday. He threw together a giant MechWarrior suit from Chloe’s Duplo blocks and looks poised for destruction. Great anti-snowman strategic positioning too, right in front of the fireplace! I think the snowmen better think twice before trying to string Bob up again.#Bob2theBone #EnoughBob2GoAround #WeAreClanBob#BobAndHisWarmHugs
Chloe was so excited to see Bob's new MechWarrior suit, she decided to build one for Zebra!
Day 22
This morning we drove all the way to Arkansas for wife’s parents’ surprise 30th Wedding Anniversary. Well, they knew already that they had been married 30 years, but the party was a surprise! Lol Chloe made extra sure that Bob knew we would be out of town and in Arkansas tonight. Bob instinctively knew exactly where in Arkansas we would be. That said, Bob brought back (from the North Pole of course) a big floor puzzle of himself and put it 97.5% (that’s 39/40 for all of us math geeks) together for Chloe as a gift. I’m sure she will be thrilled to see her new puzzle as she wonders how it will magically end up at our house the next day. Because Bob is sitting on it, and we cannot touch Bob, and we’re leaving in the morning to come back to Kansas, it’s going to be a bit of a challenge. Good thing my motto is generally, “Challenge Accepted!” #DidNotThinkItAllTheWayThrough #MagicSolvesEverything
Day 23
Looks like Bob made it back from Arkansas, to North Pole, and back to our house today. Not sure what happened between Iron Man and him last night, but the outcome is on our countertop. The only things I know for sure are that Iron Man looks proud and Bob looks guilty! How about some of you caption what you think happened? You never know…maybe one of you will be right!#BobFaughtTheLaw #AvengerYouAintBob #RideEmCowBob#OurLegsDontBend #PuppyRodeosRock
Day 24
Mix Master Bob broke out his hip-hoppin’ threads and bling-a-ding-ding to drop a sick beat that everyone can bust a move to…words to your mom! Unfortunately it looks as though Bob forgot the speakers. Guess we’ll just have to imagine what his scratchy urban rhythms must have sounded like and probably NOT disco hop around the house. Chloe, on the other hand, dances to the beat of a different drum and will most likely shake her groove thing when she sees DJ Bob. Only morning will tell. #BobsInTheMix #SirMixABob #DJJazzyBob#BobsInDaHouse
Day 25
For some unknown reason, Captain America decided to call out Bob to a friendly snowball fight before Bob returns to the North Pole for good (this year). I guess it’s not common knowledge amongst Avengers that Elves can really rock a snowball fight. Oh well, looks like the Captain is about to find out soon….the hard way! #BrokeBackCaptain #ICantFeelMyFace#FlinginFrostysButt #CaptainAvalanche #Caps2ndFrozenBurial#CaptainHibernate
Day 26
Sadly, it is also Bob’s last day to be with us before he returns to the North Pole for the winter. He got into some mischief, made some friends, built some stuff, did the dew (well doo), and left a warm spot in our hearts. He will be missed, but he’s not gone yet! Today Bob left Chloe a farewell gift on the tree. It may take some time before Chloe can sound out and read all those words. Eventually she’ll have a nice little keepsake, compliments of Bob the Elf. Such a silwy yittle elf and a jokesta! Fly home safely Bob!#BobSpotInOurHearts #BobTheToyBuilder #StraightOuttaNP#BobsBackIn2016
Day 27
Christmas Day and no more Bob. Merry Christmas everyone!
